Cantilever Gate and Pedestrian Gate Installation in Kirkland, WA

FERRO-GATES completed a custom cantilever gate and pedestrian gate installation in Kirkland, WA using black TERRA galvanized slats, custom steel frames, and a matching modern gate design.

This project was built for a residential property that needed a clean driveway entrance, separate walk-through access, privacy, and a coordinated exterior look. Instead of treating the vehicle gate and pedestrian gate as separate elements, both gates were planned as one matching entrance system.

Project Details

Project type: Cantilever driveway gate and pedestrian gate installation
Location: Kirkland, WA
Gate style: Black TERRA slats
Driveway gate: Cantilever sliding gate
Pedestrian access: Matching metal pedestrian gate
Frame: Custom steel frame construction
Application: Residential driveway and walk-through access

Why a Cantilever Gate Worked for This Kirkland Driveway

A cantilever gate was selected because it slides without a ground track. This can be useful for residential driveways where dirt, leaves, moisture, uneven surfaces, or regular outdoor exposure can make a track-based sliding gate less practical.

For this Kirkland property, the cantilever layout helped keep the driveway entrance clean while giving the gate enough structure and clearance for smooth movement.

Matching Pedestrian Gate for Walk-Through Access

The project also included a matching metal pedestrian gate. This created a separate walk-through access point without requiring the main driveway gate to be opened for every entry.

Matching the pedestrian gate to the cantilever driveway gate made the full entrance look more intentional. The black TERRA slats, frame style, and gate proportions were planned together so the vehicle gate and walk-through gate feel like one complete system.

Black TERRA Slats for a Modern Entrance

The gates were finished with black TERRA galvanized slats. This style works well for properties that need privacy, a modern exterior look, and a cleaner visual line across the driveway and pedestrian access areas.

The horizontal slat layout helps the entrance look more architectural than a standard open metal gate while keeping the system visually consistent across both gates.

Custom Steel Frame Construction

Both gates were built with custom steel frames sized to the property layout. For cantilever gates, frame strength and alignment matter because the gate moves without support from a ground track.

The custom frame construction helped support the TERRA slat infill and maintain a clean fit between the driveway gate, pedestrian gate, posts, and surrounding entrance layout.

Complete Driveway and Pedestrian Access System

This Kirkland project combined a cantilever sliding gate and a matching pedestrian gate into one coordinated access system. The result is a modern residential entrance with controlled vehicle access, convenient walk-through access, and a consistent black TERRA-style design.

This type of setup can work well when a property needs both secure driveway entry and a separate pedestrian access point near the same fence or entrance line.

Just had a new fence installed by Ferro-Gates. Although they usually specialize in metal fences, we preferred a wood one. Their estimate was the most affordable of the 3 we had done, and the work was outstanding. Max made sure that he understood exactly what we wanted. The quality of the construction was excellent, and he solved a problem we had with our old back gate for years. Highly recommend using them.

It’s been a month since the Ferro fence was installed and the metal fence design and beauty have been praised by lots of neighbors and friends. The Ferro staff meticulously designed and installed at the solid concrete foundation with care. My family are so impressed by their working spirit and the good quality of the fence. Kudos to everyone of Ferro. I strongly recommend the Ferro fence system. Thank you, Max and Darya.

Ferro Gates installed a privacy screen using the Tisa picket fencing, which is normally used for a standard fence. They were able to adapt to my request and built an outstanding privacy screen on our back deck. I am completely satisfied with the excellent and timely work, and the high quality of the fencing material. I highly recommend them and the fine
product that they use.

I was referred to Ferro-Gates by a local fence installer, they went with me to a supply store and picked up all the supplies I needed for a small privacy wall project. Metal slats looked good, the final touch was really spot on, very good quality performance, very friendly people in the office and quick and efficient loading at their warehouse. I highly recommend and will always trust them with my future project.

We,ve installed fence and two pedestrian gates with Ferro-Gates
The materials are modern, grey color. This is the only one company near the Bellevue, WA, which provides not only black metal fence. The communication was very clear,an estimate hadn't any hidden parts, and it was pretty reasonable price for the fence and hardware they used for the installation. They probably spent more time for the gates installation on my property, than they expected, because we are pretty picky. But the result is exactly the same as I we discussed. Thank you for your time and patience!
